Victim-blaming is often explained as being the result of which psychological phenomenon?

Okay, so victim blaming is often explained as being the result of which specific psychological phenomenon? So let's see what we have here. So a is the bystander effect, and the bystander effect is not really getting at victim blaming. This is more just a phenomenon individual is less likely to help a victim if they are in a crowd setting. We're going to cross that off. B is dispositional attributions, and victim blaming is technically a type of dispositional attribution, so we're going to just kind of mark that one off for now. C is situational attributions, and those are actually kind of the opposite of victim blaming. We don't really see situational attributions in victim blaming, so we're gonna cross that off. And then d is the just world hypothesis, and this is kind of the most specific psychological phenomenon being talked about here and this is one that we often attribute to victim blaming. So I'm gonna remove that little check mark from b and circle d. So with the just world hypothesis, this is basically kind of an incorrect belief that many people hold that the world is fair and good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. And this can lead to victim blaming because essentially they see a bad thing happen to somebody, And so to align that with their worldview, they think, well, this must be a bad person or this person must have done a bad thing, and that is what led to their victimization. So everything stays nice and fair and just. Again, it's a very erroneous belief, but that we believe is kind of one of the causes of victim blaming is that just world hypothesis. Alright, and there you have it, and I will see you in the next one. Bye bye.
